I've found two Dutch-language articles describing the arrival in Rotterdam of five children rescued from SS Volturno by SS Devonian and who were landed at Liverpool. In one article the boat and/or line is described as the "Glasgowboot" (Glasgow boat) and in the other, the boat is described as the "Grimsby-boot" (Grimsby boat). I doubt the children would have sailed from Glasgow, and Grimsby seems to be on the other side of England from Liverpool. Any thoughts on what service this might be? Thank you, Andy Baker http://fireontheocean.com

I should have included a timeframe in my question. The events took place in October 1913. Might be helpful. :) Thank you, Andy Baker http://fireontheocean.com On Aug 17, 2011, at 6:22 AM, Andrew Baker <bellhalla@gmail.com> wrote: > I've found two Dutch-language articles describing the arrival in Rotterdam of five children rescued from SS Volturno by SS Devonian and who were landed at Liverpool.
